Fish Replica 041

I was staying with my friend Nona while setting up for the show at SCSU and so I had new objects to draw.

.

She has a collection of fish that a friend carved from wood, added tin fins, and painted as exact replicas of all sorts of tropical fish.

.

I had helped her hang them from the ceiling years ago in her apartment in Athens, Ohio so for me these beautiful objects carry that memory - and for Nona, memories of the friend who gave them and stories along the way.
